Flying Pikachu has made its Pokemon Go debut. This guide will show players all the different ways they can find and capture this event-exclusive Pokemon. Pokemon Go is currently celebrating its 5th anniversary. The game took the world by storm when it was released back in 2016. Players would take out to the streets on a hot Summer day and travel all across the land to capture all 151 Pokemon. As the game has evolved, more Pokemon and features have been added to the game. While the hype itself has generally died down, the game still features millions of loyal players who are excited to celebrate its half-decade celebration. Niantic is celebrating the event by releasing a special Flying Pikachu. This guide will show all the different ways for players to obtain it.

Pikachu is one of the many Pokemon that has received dozens of alternate forms in Pokemon Go. Each of these forms is tied to the event that they debuted it. From Halloween to Christmas, to New Year, Pikachu has been the staple in this entry to receive the most alternate forms. These variations even come along with their own Shiny forms for players to collect. This guide will show players how they can find a Balloon Pikachu.

How To Find (& Catch) Flying Pikachu In Pokemon Go

Since Flying Pikachu is a part of the game’s 5th anniversary, players will be able to encounter it from Tuesday, July 6th to Thursday, July 15th. Here are all the different ways players can encounter it.

In The Wild: Players may come across the Flying Pikachu when exploring. For those having trouble locating it, players can use Lure Modules or Incences to increase the overall spawn rate of all Pokemon.
Raids: Flying Pikachu will appear in 1-star raid battles. Players can complete these alone since it’s only 1-star. It will appear Shiny during the capturing phase if it happens to be its Shiny form.

Players will not want to miss out on capturing this event-exclusive Pikachu before the event comes to a close. Shortly after the anniversary, Pokemon Go will be hosting its annual Go Fest event.

This event has been a big hit for players and Niantic. Until then, celebrate the 5th anniversary of this iconic mobile title.
